First and foremost, I’m not a professional fisherman. I’m about as amateur as you can get. Despite that, Val took her time to learn what I was looking for out of the trip and did everything she could do to exceed those expectations. She was attentive, friendly and gave me plenty of pointers to help me with my fishing game. Her knowledge of where we fished and what we caught was impressive, to say the least. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a great trip out on the water.

Clearly has a high level of fishing expertise.  Fish were being uncooperative but her impressive use of electronics and applying them along with all of the other factors helped us find fish.  Really patient and persistent.  A comfortable blend of educational and fun for my 14 y/o daughter who is already looking forward to another trip (that alone is impressive!).  Comfortable and well equipped boat and quality tackle that was enjoyable to use.  Looking forward to another trip.

Captain Valerie rocks!! 1st place we fished was a bit spotty but, we caught fish. Moved over to another and caught a couple of big ones but, they were still a bit spread out. Then she says we’ll fish this next spot for about 5 minutes just in case something is holding there then move on. We never ended up moving. That “5 minute” spot was stacked with quality fish. THANK YOU SO MUCH. 50 years making the trip to fish Florida and this was by far the best.

My wife and I had a fantastic day bass fishing for the first time with Valerie. The boat and gear were top quality and Valerie’s calm, positive and patient instruction led to a very successful day of fishing with many, many catches. Morell’s dedication to her craft and willingness to accommodate all of our needs put her company over the top. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to others or to book with her again in the future.

I have fished with Valerie numerous times and we always caught fish. Her boat and electronics are first-rate, she knows how to interpret what the electronics are showing her and translate that into getting on fish. Once on the fish, she has an uncanny ability to get them to bite! This was my first trip to headwaters and the fishing with Valerie made the 2.5-hour ride to the lake worthwhile! A fishing trip with Valerie is a pleasant, fun-filled time on the water. Her fishing knowledge and... More
